      There are 314 people in the U.S. with the last name Graus. Statistically the 66878th most popular last name. Cool.

                Cool. The thing with a number that small is, you have to wonder how many you're tracably related to.

                          Wow, im not in the US but thats still interesting. If I use my birth name (James) and my surname, there are ~1600 people. If I drop to my more common name (Jamie) that drops to ~100. Thats a hell of a difference.

                              There are 21 people in the U.S. named Brady Kelly. I know of none in SA, but I'm no census beauro.

                              I have been trying for weeks to get this little site indexed. If you wonder what it is, or would like some informal accommodation for the 2010 World Cup, please click on this link for Rhino Cottages.

                                They are. Come up with something odd enough and it'll say 1 or less.

                                    Chris - 339,693 people with Chris as first name. 89.14% are male. Meech - 670 people with Meech as last name. Chris Meech - only 1 person in United States with that name. And it ain't me. :cool: It would be weird to meet this individual and find there is some family resemblance. Especially considering my UEL history. :)

                                        My result was 'one or less'. So, I suspect that the smaller the number, the more likely the DB will have an unacceptable margin of error.
